Second option, not close
>>
>>333797360
1 for multi
2 for single
>>
The latter you fag
>>
>>333797360
You get more out of the 2nd option.
>>
>>333797360
2nd option by far
First option is like playing a game where all of the characters are squares, and there's no music
>>
to me 5/5 gameplay means a game I'll play the rest of my life and never get bored of, so i'll go with that.
>>
>>333797360
5/5 gameplay is meaningless if the atmosphere is so shit it makes you want to not play the game.
>>
I prefer, 0/5 story, 5/5 gameplay & atmosphere.
>>
>>333797360
is that cheezus?
>>
Second option. I don't give a damn how well it plays if it looks and sounds like fucking Manic Miner
>>
>>333797360
If we're talking atmosphere, then definitely the second option. You only take one hit on the gameplay, but you get god-tier atmosphere and even a good story as a bonus? I'd take that any day.
>>
>>333797360
>5/5 *1/5 = 5/25

vs

>4/5 * 5/5 = 20/25

Why the fuck would you pick option 1?

They're both pretty good
>>
>>333797579
If 5/5 gameplay means something you could play for the rest of your life and never get bored then a 5/5 story and atmosphere would be some transcendental shit that would change your life for the better.
>>
Depends on what sort of game we're talking about.
>>
2nd option
Gameplay is still the main part of games but those other things are important too
>>
>>333797662
WHO?
>>
>>333797360
4/5 gameplay and 5/5 atmosphere is what makes STALKER so great, so that one.
>>
>>333797756
5/5 gameplay would be like the NFL where its a game that evolves over the years as newly developed strategies are constantly developed to counter older approaches to the game.

5/5 story would be say, a literary masterpiece but ultimately a story that eventually gets shelved like all good books do.
>>
4/5 gameplay is still great gameplay. Enough for it be fun and have some nice depth to it.
>>
>>333797360
genre?
>>
You're cancer if you unironically choose the second option.

If I wanted an epic cinematic experience I'd watch a movie or buy a ps4

MYSTERY BOX:
3/5 Gameplay. 3/5 Story and Atmosphere, 6/5 Music

stalker has 3/5 gameplay at best fampai, the gunplay is poop and most of the quests are just fetch quests

HOL UP

Depends on the genre, and what constitutes a 1/5 story and atmosphere. Does that mean that the game is actually grating, or does it mean that the story is barely there and ignorable?
>>
>>333797360
Second
>>
>>333798656
1/5 story and atmosphere is like Neptunia crossed with Gone Home.
>>
>>333798151
I can live with shitty story as long as you can skip cutscenes/dialogue but atmosphere really is important in a game.

Plenty of games have good gameplay. If a game only has good gameplay but dogshit aesthetics, soundtrack, sound design, setting, etc. I don't have a good reason to just go play something else.
>>
>>333798239
this one
good music can make a 3/5 gameplay feel like 11/5 gameplay
>>
>>333798861
>I don't have a good reason to just go play something else.
*not to just go play something else

>>333797360
2 easy.

>>333798239
>6/5 Music
Picked the fuck up.
>>
>>333798239
Pretty much what >>333799013 said. I'd take this option any day.

Considering I rarely replay vidya but listen to soundtracks for years fi they are good I'll take this one
>>
>>333797360
Both math and logic dictates option 2 OP, you should've thought this through.
>>
>>333797360
A game with little atmosphere isn't worth playing, yeah the game play is superb but the world is still bland.
>>
>>333798861
Mount&Blade's setting is extremely generic, the aesthetics are dogshit, and there's no atmosphere to speak of.
The game's still god tier, though.

That said, I'd pick number 2 every time, as long as it was single player.
>>
>>333797360
>7/15 or 13/15

Story, gameplay, graphics, and so on are variably important depending on what kind of game it is, but a God tier atmosphere can make a game for me like nothing else.

Option 1 is literally Dark Messiah for me, its fucking perfection, I will never get tired of kicking goblins into spikes while some bitch drones on about a shitty artifact I guess I'm looking for

Option 2 is good because it has collectively more points, Option 1 is more about your personal opinion on a game which doesn't mean shit on /v/
>>
>>333800434
It's true but atmosphere is usually dependant on things like story, graphics, audio and even the gameplay.
>>
Better question. 5/5 gameplay with 1/5 story/atmosphere, or 3/5 gameplay with 3/5 story/atmosphere?
>>
I used to think the first one, but after experiencing shit like ME3 and FE Fates, the second one is painfully obvious.
